| Has anyone else auditioned something that really was terrible? You listen to a system, including the room and its acoustics, not individual components.It’s always possible a particular unit is defective and that should be ruled out first, but when things sound really bad most often it is because the component... | |
| Receiver working as pre-amp, TURNS OFF, whenever Second Zone/Speaker B goes loud Yes running two pair of speakers from most 2 channel amps concurrently puts the two in the circuit in parallel which lowers the impedance and that will make the amp tap out sooner. You might consider trying an external speaker switch. Good ones ha... | |
| Discussion of Class D Amps Application & Experiences Also Elac has some low profile Class D amps out there these days. Anyone heard and able to comment? | |
| Amp have enough air space? Watch that it does not get too hot. If it does not the best scenario for longevity and sound may or may not be affected. | |
| Can speakers be stored in a garage? I would not store anywhere subject to wide temperature swings. Also of course needs to be secure from thieves. | |
| Heresy's II Finally Sound Right-sorry if there's a place i should have put this post.... Sounds like a very cost effective yet fun combo. | |
| Perfect Path Total Contact no longer? @reubent Murray. KY 1983-85 while at Murray State in the Geosciences Grad program studying Satellite Remote Sensing and Digital Cartography at their then-state-of-the-art Mid Atlantic Remote Sensing Center (MARC) facility. Loved it there. Great p... | |
| Albums that you listen to straight through / start to finish whenever you put them on! "Hope" by Klaatu. | |
| Perfect Path Total Contact no longer? Hey @djones where in western Kentucky?I was in Murray KY two years. Huntsville Al for 4 back in the Reagan years. I imagine even Land between the Lakes is off limits currently. | |
| Perfect Path Total Contact no longer? Yep I was a poor grad student and that 5 pound block of cheese every month made a lot of grilled cheese sandwiches. To make up for it, now 35 years later I am still gainfully employed as a result (knock on wood) and don’t even qualify for any pand... | |
| You've tried other amps and ended with Pass, please discuss I’d like to see Pass do a Class D amp. I need lots of drive and I like smaller easier to manage packages. Of course lower cost is better than higher for me like most as well. 😉 | |
| Discussion of Class D Amps Application & Experiences I had the ARC sp16 prior to the Class D amp and have had that combo for ~10 years now and still content. Next pre-amp will probably be SS. Maybe a Benchmark pre/DAC device is what I am thinking currently. Arc sp16 has a nice basic function remote. | |
| Perfect Path Total Contact no longer? Our neighborhood had a virtual happy hour with social distancing outside in one of the courts the other weekend. Very nice! Distance makes the heart grow fonder as they say. Don’t fink on me now! | |
| Perfect Path Total Contact no longer? OP I went to Grad school in Western Kentucky. Lived there for 2 years. One year in a trailer park with $75 rent living on 5 pound blocks of cheese. It’s a wonderful place to be in many ways, even more so probably these days. I think you would ... |
